Props

Our thriller opening required very little props, however the few that we did use held significance.





S10 Gas Mask

We used an S10 Gas Mask as part of our costume for the Lady in the Gas Mask, one reason being that it was at hand (a member of my family owns one) and also because we felt a gas mask would further enhance a sense of power and intimidation within our character. The inability to see the face makes it all the more eerie and un-nerving for the audience.  

The second prop used was fake blood, we needed this as blood was a key visual element in our opening scene. The image of blood immediately brings to mind danger and violence, which is what our scene includes. 

One other prop featured was a bloodied rock, the image of the rock is a key feature of iconography. The image holds a sense of power and fear, as it has clearly been used as a very distructive weapon.
